Problems with MSN protocol ...

[Mauro Sergio Ferreira Brasil]

Hi Ka-Hing!

Thanks again for you patience and good will.

The users with who this failures are occurring regularly work on a big 
corporation and I've already asked them about changes on their firewall.
They are validating that internally, and should get it back to me soon.

Anyway my intention was to get some feedback about that of other 
Pidgin/libpurple users.
Considering that this started to happen some days ago, I saw two 
possibilities: changes on their corporate firewall; or (maybe and) 
instability caused by some official servers maintenance/problem/etc 
(mostly considering the unavailability issues occurred short time ago 
with Yahoo and MSN).

Now that you've pointed that this is not occurring widely, I'll focus on 
our customer premises to find out the causes.

Thanks and best regards,
Mauro.
